I wish I could wind my winch up that nicely. It looks like a storks nest after an all night orgy.

The insides of your front tires are showing air under them.

It looks pretty good, any pics of the backside of the front bumper. I'm wodering how much of a PITA it is to put your pin thru for the winch mount.

so far only blurry ones. but its not too bad.the pin goes through about 4 inches back from the face of the bumper.plenty of room to get the pin in and out,you just need to feel around a little for the hole.

probably 250$ in steel for front,rear,and cradle.i cut out cardboard templates first and duct taped them together to get the look and fit i wanted,then cut out the steel and:icon_welder:.it was a fun project,but i'm not done with the rear.it will undergo some major surgery some time in the future.

That's pretty close to what I want to do, and pretty nice looking. I want / need D rings front and rear and would like a receiver so I can buy one winch and remove it when I don't need it (99% of the time).
